Interesting for me is going to be in about 10 days time. I'll pick up my HD700 from NY (business trip). Will be interesting to see where that sits in relation to both the Beyer and HD600.

You ever listen to the HD700's. If not do so carefully first, you may not like the treble, or you may. J&R Music World on Broadway near City Hall carries them. Beware of the HD800's they usually stock them as well. I just checked, both in stock and back to the regular prices.

My old office was across the street from them. Now I'm across the river, my wallet is out of reach. Being across the street is dangerous.

Got the HD700s at a little over USD 600 - so thought it was worth 'taking a punt'. Haven't heard the HD800 yet - I know I'll probably get there eventually. I'm just taking my time and enjoying the journey :)

That's a steal. While you're there, give the HD800's a listen too, you'll need to find the next thing to work on.

I am looking at the HD600s for purchase. I have the DT880s and enjoy them. But I am looking for a second pair of headphones. What is the difference between the HD600 and DT880? Is the detail in the soundstage improved? How is the build quality of the HD600s?

Thank you!

Bob,

Those are questions that have been answered at length throughout the forums. Use the search, and you'll find more info then you ever wanted.

It is definitely possible but the designer has to 1) know what he's doing and 2) enjoy the process of trial and error to tweak for the best possible results as the tweaks just haven't been done yet for these odd ball tubes.

It is a reaction to the silly high prices of many NOS tubes...no tube over $5!

It's for my HD600s...so updates will follow...

Cool!! cant wait for the updates.

Side note... if you give it a bad review those $5 tubes will drop down to a buck or two on audiogone and epay. (wink wink)

back on topic. I finally have some old 300+ hour HD600 replacement drivers incoming for mine. These cans have been dormant for 5-6 years at least. My rig has changed a lot over that time. it will be fun putting them through their paces.

congratulations on that score...I imagine you will find the HD600 better than ever.
